Lyrics:
Long ago she was working with dying people
And she let me know some of their lonely wisdom
She'd never met anyone who on their death-bed
Wished they spent more of their time at work
It was families and prayer on knees
Smelling roses and walks through trees that meant something
And spending time growing close
Thinking of what matters most
Spending time is all we have
Let's change our lives while we still can
They were young, when they met and fell in love
He worked hard, he was paid well and got promoted
"It's all for you!" he said, he couldn't understand the distance
She said she felt, years alone had killed their romance
You and I we met when things were simple
You earned the bread and I dreamed of making millions
How things have changed and tonight I sing for money
And she's at home emersed in books and study
You come home and I go out
Let's not forget what this is all about
